The edited clip posted on Facebook shows "Fox & Friends" cohost Pete Hegseth throw an ax at a bullseye on a wooden board during the June 14 broadcast. The ax sails over the target and hits Jeff Prosperie, a drummer in the West Point Hellcats marching band, which was performing during the show.

Prosperie posted the clip on Saturday:

I was hit by an axe while performing a drum solo live on National TV.....words I never imagined saying! This happened...

Prosperie also wrote that the clip was edited to show first what was seen on TV -- Hegseth throwing the ax, and wincing when it goes way off-mark -- followed by cellphone footage of the ax striking him on the other side of the target.

"My leadership told me they were told there would be no ax throwing," Prosperie wrote on Facebook. "I think the anchor person went rogue and decided to throw it. He had only thrown it once before in practice for an upcoming segment and they told him to throw it with more force."

He called it "obvious negligence" and said it could have been avoided.
